Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hope is the denial of reality.
I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.
Hope is not just... out in the sky, or accepting the facts or reality. Hope is having optimistic, positive expectations.
I still believe in a place called Hope.
It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.
Hope, insofar as it is hope of resurrection, is the living contradiction of what it proceeds from and what is placed under the sign of the Cross and death.
Hope is trust in God's promises, faith that if we act now, the desired blessings will be fulfilled in the future.
I think that hope is the act of continuing in the face of the truth.
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.
